An older built but quiet hotel

The Hotel is of the older brick build so no noise from above . Very quiet at night The room though clean would be improved with one coat of paint and a small plaster repair. The staff were very friendly and did an excellent job making me welcome. Great value breakfast.

I chose this location primarily for its close proximity to my daughter's dormitory, making it an ideal choice for convenience. The hotel itself may not be the epitome of luxury, but the level of service here is nothing short of extraordinary. The staff consistently goes above and beyond, demonstrating a remarkable commitment to guest satisfaction. They are not just helpful; they exude courtesy, respect, and warmth that makes every interaction a pleasure. Each morning, I eagerly anticipate the breakfast spread, which is a delightful experience in itself. The offerings are always fresh and bursting with flavor, featuring an abundance of ripe, succulent fruits and a diverse array of delectable options. My personal favorite has to be the homemade yogurt—it's irresistibly creamy, crafted right on-site, and has a richness that lingers on the palate. It's these little touches that truly elevate the stay and make it memorable.will definitely come back the next time am in town to visit my baby girl.

It is what it is.

Reasonable for Reading, while basic in decor it is what you can expect for the price, the staff are all really friendly and helpful to a fault. Always stay here as it represents value in my opinion, great parking and easy access to the town. 20 mins to the centre.

The sink system does not sink, the ceiling does not look right and the paint is chipped. Extremely small furniture like table chair and everything. The housekeeper knocking the door like I owed her money, I told her I need more time to prepare to leave and she was keep knocking, terrible experience. I won’t come here again.
